:18:02
just how very wrong
my life had gone.
:18:05
Do you remember telling me once
that all through my career,
:18:08
I'd never fit in?
:18:10
Well, you were right, of course,
:18:14
but after years
of thinking the matter over,
:18:17
I began to see that the whole thing
wasn't really my problem.
:18:20
What rational man could fit in
with the sorts of things
our government was doing?
:18:25
The sorts of things
you've always done, Richard?
:18:30
Do you think I haven't seen
the bodies of those men
every time I've closed my eyes?
:18:34
- But after you went away--
- "Went away"?
:18:37
"Went away."
I like that.
:18:39
It's almost quaint.
:18:43
All right.
After they put you away,
:18:47
I began trying to find ways of
controlling the effects of the weapon...
:18:51
- that we tested on Horn Island.
- And let me guess-- you failed.
:18:54
So far, y-yes.
:18:57
Why is it you scientists can create
implements of destruction so quickly,
:19:02
but when it comes to cures
and benefits, your speedis
nothing short of glacial?
:19:06
Though at least
you're trying, Richard.
:19:09
And if the road to hellispaved
with good intentions,
:19:11
we know you'll find
your way there quickly.
:19:14
And don't worry.
:19:16
It's not such a bad place.
I should know, after all.
:19:30
Okay, Doc.
:19:36
The usual. Doc!
:19:51
- Good morning, Dr. Long.
- Hi.
